Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-Free Fusilli Pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 28 ounces Canned Crushed Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free fusilli pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the pan. Cook while breaking it up with a spoon or spatula until it is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to blend.
Toss the cooked fusilli pasta with the meat sauce in the skillet until the pasta is well-coated.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
